FILLING HIS MIND

  FILLING HIS MIND Psalms 8:1-9  Devotional:- “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? “ (V.4) NKJV When two people are at the peak of love, their entire minds will be full of one another. There is nothing else that will gain stronger attention at such a time. If you employ a man who is always thinking of his wife, may he work. He will always have his rapt attention for the woman. This is because love is one of the things that does not want shared attention in the mind of man. And as much as men may have their minds filled with the thought of their lovers, as much as they can be empty of it sometimes. But God is not a man who can sometimes forget His own beloved. The scripture we read today says, His mind is full of you. That is, He is always thinking of you. His entire attention is on you. That is why you need to look at your challenges. It can never swallow you. It is for the purpose of your glory (James 1:12). He is working out someth...

PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY

PURPOSE OF HIS FAMILY

Ephesians 2:14-22
Devotional “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,” (v. 19)


    It is important you know that you are created for fellowship and formed for family. No one can fulfill the purpose of God alone. That is why God created a family for His children called the church. There will belong to one another forever [Rom 12:5]. Your earthly family cannot continue to care for you but God has made the church a place for each of us to find love for ever. 

Please know that the church is not a building it is a group of people who form the body of Christ. The church is an organism and not an organization. One of the first sign of backsliding is when people start to miss fellowship. Whenever we become careless about fellowship every other thing begins to slide too. The church is so important that Jesus had to die for Her [Ephesians 5:25].The church is called the bride of Christ and you can’t tell me you love me and hate my wife as some want to hate the church today [1 Pet. 2:17]

You need a church family that you might be identified with as         believer; you need a church family that you might move out of your isolation to learn and grow with others. Your maturity is tested in the fellowship. You need a church family to discover and deploy your gifts and talents. You need a church family to motivate you into evangelism which is the commandment of Jesus [Matthew 28:19-20]. You need a church family to keep you from backsliding [Hebrews 3:13]. Gods purpose for the church is to be a place of worship to help you focus on God; fellowship to help you face life’s problems, discipleship to help you fortify your faith for victory, ministry to help you fulfill your purpose, evangelism to help you fulfill your mission on earth. True church is a place of true love, help for each other and mercy for each other. 

PRAYER –Lord, help me not to be disconnected from your family.

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
